Los Angeles under partial curfew amid protests over ICE raids NHK

A: Hey there! What's up?
B: Not much, just catching up on some news.

A: Oh, you should check out what happened in LA last night!
B: What was it about?

A: The mayor declared a partial curfew due to some unrest related to ICE raids. It's expected to last for a few days.
B: Wow, that sounds serious. Why did they do this?

A: Well, there have been protests against Trump's immigration policies for a while now. But on Monday night, things got violent with looting and vandalism, so the mayor had to declare a state of emergency.
B: I see. That's unfortunate...

A: Yeah, it's been chaotic. The clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement haven't helped either. There's also been property damage and theft.
B: And the military is involved?

A: Actually, about 700 Marines sent by Trump are nearby, waiting to be deployed. But California's governor has filed an emergency motion in court to block them from helping with immigration roundups in the city.
B: Wow, that's a lot going on! Let's hope things calm down soon.
